What part of Florida does Matt Gaetz represent?

I want to make sure I never go there, to that godforsaken place which has to be the most backward place in America, full of rubes and uneducated hicks who have no education and no teeth either. Otherwise, how could someone as despicable, immoral and with absolutely zero common sense ever get elected to Congress?

And even more so South of Lake Okeechobee. N. Fl. East of the Apalachicola River, is very much like Georgia. West of the Apalachicola is like Alabama. There is a distinct difference between Alabama and Georgia. You can feel it when you cross from one state to the other. Jacksonville is perfectly positioned, and is in fact, the asshole of the South. Tallahassee is stuck in the middle (E to W) and doesn't have a firm grasp on what it is...

but no one wants to pay taxes.

They still haven't recovered from hurricane Michael but if it wasn't for the U.S. government they'd be gone entirely.
